Usage Both Aboriginal and Aborigine may be used as nouns referring to a member of an Australian Aboriginal people, but Aborigine is the commoner and is often preferred, especially in the plural Origin Mid 19th century: back-formation from the 16th-century plural aborigines 'original inhabitants' (in classical times referring to those of Italy and Greece), from the Latin phrase ab origine 'from the beginning'. This is a shortening of the 16th-century plural aborigines ‘original inhabitants’, which in classical times referred to the early people of Italy and Greece. The word comes from the Latin phrase ab origine ‘from the beginning’. Now both Aborigines and Aboriginals are standard plural forms when referring to Australian Aboriginal people, a specialized use which dates from the 1820s.
